Thank you very much for the quick answer,
so I am (as, yes, a novice) understand it as follows ,
the battery, feeds the generator, the generator feeds the sparks
plugs and off I go.
At the same time the generator charges the battery in return is
that correct?
So it is a continuance loop and if I take the battery out the car
stalls because the loop is broken correct?
While with an alternator the car keeps running that is what I do
not understand
Or should the car WITH a generator also keep on running when
I take the battery out while the engine is running
So if the battery is drawn

The Citroen 2CV had a 6 volt generator well into the late sixties.
If you disconnect the battery, and the engine stops (even if you
rev it up a bit) that means your charging system is not working.
That could be the wiring, the generator, or the voltage regulator.
I have tried to attach a wiring diagram for your car. Contact me
if you need more help.

Thank you very much, I was able to print the schedule and will try it
tonight again with revving the engine before disconnecting the
battery, than I will know if I need to "work" the system, wonderful
help thank you
